PTP/environment setup 50

Setup for development of PTP 5.0

These instructions describe using the HEAD version of the CVS repository. Please let us know (e.g. on ptp-dev mailing list) if these instructions need updating.

PTP 5.0 needs Eclipse 3.7/Indigo, CDT 8.0, and RSE 3.3 (at least)

• Download Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) here: http://eclipse.org/downloads/for your platform. "Eclipse Classic" is a good choice.
• Note: RSE is optional if you are not doing any remote development work.

Install RSE 3.3 End-User Runtime, and CDT 8.0.0, in your eclipse installation

• Help > Install New Software.. .and add both the above downloaded archives
  • Note that now you can also install RSE from the Indigo Update site
  • It is assumed that you have an internet connection while installing; if there are pre-reqs missing, it will attempt to fetch them.
• To see just the local archives and install all at once, select, under "Work with:", "--Only Local Sites--"
• For RSE: Under TM and RSE 3.2, install the "Remote System Explorer End-Use Runtime"
• For CDT: Install all "CDT Main Features" - development tools and SDK
• Next, Next, accept license terms, Finish

To check out PTP projects:

• In CVS, check out org.eclipse.ptp/releng/ptp_project_sets as follows:
  • Window > Open Perspective > Other..., CVS Repository Exploring
  • Rightmouse in CVS Repositories view, New > Repository Location
    • Host: dev.eclipse.org, Repository path: /cvsroot/tools, User: anonymous
      • If you have a committer id on dev.eclipse.org, use that, enter the password, and change the Connection type to extssh
  • Expand that repository and expand HEAD. Scroll down to org.eclipse.ptp and expand it
  • Under releng, check out ptp_project_sets
• Return to the Plug-in development Perspective
• In the ptp_project_sets project in your workspace, rightMouse on anonymous/ptp-HEAD-all-anonymous.psf and select "Import project set"
  • If you have committer access, use committer/ptp-HEAD-all-committer.psf
• It should check out everything you need.

Launching a runtime workbench running the code you checked out into your workspace

1. Run > Debug Configurations ...
2. Double-click on 'Eclipse Application' - or click and click on the 'new' icon
3. Defaults are probably ok to run with all the plugin projects in your workspace; hit 'Debug' in lower right corner
